“After a careful and thoughtful review process, we have made the difficult decision to close the Walmart store at 1359 W 2nd Street in Waldron, Arkansas. We continually review our store portfolio to make sure we are achieving this long-term strategy. We are grateful to the customers and the community who have given us the privilege of serving them,” Anne Hatfield said.

Hatfield said the last day for the store to be open will be July 14th.

Hatfield also says any prescriptions currently being filled at the location will no longer be filled after June 28th. Hatfield says, though, that Walmart will help its customers transfer their prescriptions to other pharmacy locations.

According to a 2010 census report, Waldron had a population of 3,618. But the census Bureau estimates that number has declined. It listed Waldron's population as 3,447 in 2014.
